The Dodgers are the first team in NL history with seven 20-homer players
It’s tough to accomplish this in the NL because the pitchers still bat, so setting that record pretty much requires seven guys out of eight. The Dodgers have hit 218 homers as I type this, which is a high number (best in the league), but not anywhere near a record high, because they don’t have any players with more than 33 homers. They just have a well-balanced attack.
The Yankees already have 247 this year, fueled by 140 at home. The all-time team record for an entire season is 264 (1997 Mariners). The team record for the most round-trippers at home is 153 (2005 Rangers); the road record is 138 (2001 Giants).
And that list doesn’t include Manny Machado with 35 on the year but only 11 with L.A.
Very true.
